Ty Lawson - G - Denver Nuggets
Feb. 5, 2013 - 8:55 AM ET

Ty Lawson said that he's "just playing hard" when asked about his recent seven-game hot stretch where he's averaged 20.3 points, 7.4 assists and 2.4 steals while shooting 50 percent from the floor.

"He's just playing with more confidence, and that tends to happen throughout a season; your confidence goes up and down," teammate Andre Iguodala said. Assistant coach Melvin Hunt added Lawson is playing "free," and owners will take it while the getting is good with Lawson. He's turned it around of late, but owners can't forget that he's been battling Achilles soreness this season.
